If the sleeper can solve these enigmas, he is saved; if not, the woman slays and cuts him in two with a scythe. The legend goes on to say that this phantom can be exorcised by reciting the verses of the Lord's Prayer in backward order. Occultism teaches us that the Woman of Noonday is an astral figure, an incubus who appears and oppresses man during his sleep. The reversed Lord's Prayer indicates that in the astral world everything is reflected as in a mirror (inversion). In The Riddle of the Sphinx, Ludwig Laistner says that the origin of the legend of the sphinx is to be found among all races. He also proves that all legends have been conceived in a condition of higher sleep where realities are perceived, and that the sphinx is in truth a daemonic figure."<br /><br />-Rudolf Steiner Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-76960374451493388962023-12-24T03:36:55.265+11:002023-12-24T03:36:55.265+11:00Intensive!

But ...Man - Manushya: in Sanskrit the word for man. But this is also struck, with this word Manushya, the basic sensation that was associated with humanity in a large part of people. What do you now refer to when you give the person the name Manushya, so if you use this word stem to designate the person, what do you refer to? One refers to the spiritual in man, one judges above all the human being as a spiritual being. If you want to express: man is spirit, and the other is only the expression, the revelation of the spirit, - so if you primarily attach importance to man as a spirit, you say "Manushya".<br /><br />-Rudolf SteinerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-48214566880550429082023-10-09T09:20:08.869+11:002023-10-09T09:20:08.869+11:00https://redhairmyths.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-hidden...https://redhairmyths.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-hidden-red-haired-jesus.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-9656463534363772442023-06-18T11:23:05.409+10:002023-06-18T11:23:05.409+10:00So very loving.

I had read and reviewed a book containing that lecture and scurried to my shelves to locate the book. Scanning the first several chapters, I couldn't find any reference to a mayflower, so I read more carefully the first chapter and sure enough, he talks about a flower without calling it a mayflower. First the passage by Voloschin, and then the pertinent passage from Steiner's first lecture on the St. John's Gospel in Hamburg.<br /><br />-Bobby Maherne<br /><br />[page 123] On the first evening he spoke about the prologue of the St. John's Gospel, "In the Beginning was the Word"; in doing so he took the mayflower out of the bouquet that stood on the table before him and spoke somewhat as follows: just as this mayflower arose from its seed, and the seed is hidden in the blossom, so is the world and is man arisen out of the Word; it was originally a silent world, for man was first mute, but the Word was hidden within him, as, in the blossom, the seed is hidden. And the Word began to sound forth from man: "I am."<br /><br />-Margarita VoloschinMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407139577098233830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255764266501716216.post-69993383783360494392020-09-27T14:35:01.894+10:002020-09-27T14:35:01.894+10:00"All change, although painful in transition, ..."All change, although painful in transition, is for the better.
